Il-vjolenza sesswali kontra t-tfal ma sseħħx ta' sikwit.
Jekk it-tfal jgħidu LE, fil-verita iridu jfissru IVA.
Le tfisser LE! Dan jgħodd kemm jekk qed jgħidha tifel jew tifla u kemm għal adulti. It-tfal kollha għandhom id-dritt li jittieħdu bis-serjetà meta jgħidu le. L-istess jgħodd għal meta jgħidu IVA.
L-ebda tifel jew tifla ma jrid jkollu jew jieħu pjaċir b'azzjonijiet sesswali.
Tfal, li jisfaw vittmi ta' abbużi sesswali, qatt ma jkunu qiegħdin jistaqsu għalija u lanqas ma jkunu qed jieħdu gost b'azzjonijiet sesswali ma' adulti. Irrispettivament mill-istil tal-ħwejjeġ, il-pożi jew l-imġieba tat-tfal, xejn ma jippermetti lill-adult jidħol f'attivitajiet sesswali ma 'tfal.
Studji li saru ma' nies li ġew kkundannati sentenza minħabba reat sesswali juru li l-biċċa l-kbir minn dawn l-azzjonijiet sesswali jkunu pjanati tajjeb.
L-adulti ma jwettqux attakki sesswali għax jitilfu l-kontroll. Hija possibli li jrażżnu l-impulsi sesswali tagħhom u hija r-responsabbiltà tagħhom li jagħmlu dan.
Ir-riċerka turi li l-biċċa l-kbira tal-kriminali sesswali huma meqjusa bħala "normali" minn ħbieb, kollegi u testijiet tal-personalità.
Dawk li jikkommettu attakki sesswali, mhumiex, kif spiss issuġġerit jew iddikjarat, emozzjonalment u mentalment instabbli.
Il-vittma ħafna drabi ma tkunx taf lil dak li wettaq l-attakk sesswali.
Ħafna mill-vittmi jafu lill-aggressur tagħhom. Jistgħu jkunu ħbieb, neighbours, konoxxenti jew saħansitra membru tal-familja tagħhom stess.
Tifel li qatt ma ġie msawwat jew qatt ma weġġa’ ma jistax ikun vittma ta’ vjolenza sesswali.
In-nuqqas ta’ sinjali ta’ ġrieħi ma jimplikax li t-tifel jew tifla ma kienx vittma ta’ abbuż sesswali. Ħafna drabi il-bniedem li jikkommetti l-abbuż jhedded lit-tifel bil-vjolenza jew bl-armi, u jġiegħelhom jiffriżaw u ma jkunux jistgħu jirreżistu.Dan bl-ebda mod ma jfisser li l-minuri jagħti l-kunsens tiegħu għall-interazzjoni sesswali. Jekk xejn, dan jimplika li t-tifel qed jipprova jipproteġi lilu nnifsu. It-tfal, bħall-adulti, jirreaġixxu b'modi differenti f'sitwazzjonijiet kritiċi u din tinkludi meta jesperjenzaw abbuż sesswali. Xi wħud jkunu ixxukjati u imdejqin jew irrabjat, oħrajn jistgħu jidhru li huma kalmi u kkontrollati. Il-vittmi li jkunu jidhru kalmi jistgħu jkunu trawmatizzati daqs l-oħrajn iżda jista' jkun li ma jkunux jafu kif se jesprimu rwieħhom.
Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) is a more accurate name than child pornography.
FACT
The term "child sexual abuse material" is more accurate than "child pornography" because it emphasizes the abuse and exploitation involved, rather than suggesting consent. Unlike adult pornography, which involves consensual acts, material with children is inherently abusive. Using the term "pornography" is minimizing the harm and normalizing the abuse. This terminology shift highlights the severity and rejects any downplaying of the issue.
Child abuse materials (CSAM) consist only of explicit sexualized scenes.
MYTH
Child abuse material is not limited to explicit sexual content. It can range from seemingly ordinary photos with no overtly erotic content to explicit depictions of sexual acts. The COPINE project outlines a ten-level severity scale that includes non-explicit images which may still be sexualized by offenders. Additionally, child abuse material can involve written stories, audio files, and digitally manipulated content, all of which can be harmful regardless of explicitness.
Watching child abuse material (CSAM) does not harm anyone, because it’s already produced and has no direct victims.
MYTH
Every view or download of child sexual abuse material perpetuates harm, fueling further exploitation. Survivors live in fear of their images resurfacing and being recognized, causing lasting anxiety, vulnerability, and powerlessness. This ongoing trauma leads to severe emotional and mental struggles, including anxiety, depression, and difficulty in relationships, work, and education.
If I use only freely available images and videos and do not pay for abuse material, I contribute to the production of child sexual abuse material and cause further harm.
FACT
Using freely available images and videos, even without paying for abusive material, can still contribute to the production and spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM). By viewing, sharing, or circulating such content, you increase demand and perpetuate harm, indirectly supporting the exploitation and abuse of children.
AI-generated materials can cause harm.
FACT
AI-generated and manipulated content can cause real harm, even if it doesn't depict real people. For instance, AI-created material that sexualizes minors, though fictional, normalizes harmful attitudes and complicates efforts to protect real victims. It also makes it harder for authorities to distinguish between real and computer-generated abuse, further hindering victim protection. Similarly, altering real images of children for explicit content can lead to harassment, sextortion, and trauma. In short, these digital materials pose serious risks to mental health, privacy, and safety, especially when they exploit or sexualize minors.
While watching images of children on approved major platforms like Google, Instagram, TikTok or Youtube, I can make sure that it does not contain any CSAM, because they apply strict community rules and do not allow such material to be posted.
MYTH
While platforms like Google, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube have strict guidelines and use detection tools to remove CSAM, they cannot guarantee that all illegal content is prevented. Detection systems can be bypassed and the large volume of content makes it challenging to catch everything. There are also delays in identifying and removing harmful material, and some content may not be flagged accurately by AI or users. As a result, these platforms cannot fully ensure protection from CSAM.
